Considering that the students are paying for these classes, the material covered in the classes will likley be on the tests, and how well these students do on their tests will in a large part determine their professional careers - I’m frankly shocked that some serious butt-kicking isn’t goin on.
If I was being prevented from taking a tough course, by some jerk in a ski-mask, there would be blood.
These students are committing a LOT of student loan borrowing to miss/disrupt this class room time. Maybe that's why they don't care so much about the missed lecture time.
And, if they are in college for "free", they are committing a LOT of future tax monies to waste on their missing this class time.
If those disruptors knew that several adult students in each class were probably legally carrying concealed firearms, I expect their tactics would have been different...
The problem is most of these kids are playing with some one else’s money. They aren’t invested as much in the education. I paid every dime for my degree through working while in college. If someone had disrupted my class I would have put up with it for a short while then probably kicked their ass if it got to be too much. But these kids raised on Xbox and going on loans and daddy’s money. Not so much unfortunately.
